Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for filling containers, for example bottles, cans or similar, with a filling material consisting of two components, to a filling point for controlled dispensing of the filling material into containers, and to a filling machine having several such filling points.
  • the problem of the invention is to demonstrate a method with which containers can be filled easily with a filling material consisting of at least two components, in particular with reproducible proportions of the components in the containers.
  • the components are each introduced separately into the container, so that any amalgamation and/or mixing of these components only takes place in the respective container.
  • the components are introduced in each filling cycle in chronological sequence into the container concerned, so that the filling quantity (filling quantity) assigned to each component can be introduced into the respective container in an exactly controlled or adjusted fashion and, as a result, reproducible conditions, and especially in relation to the proportions (quantity or volume percent or ratio) of the components ensue in the respective filled container.
  • the filling of each container with all the components to be introduced into the respective container occurs at one and the same filling point or using one and the same filling element, and preferably using a filling element with at least one dispensing opening to dispense the filling material, at least one gas trap being assigned to the dispensing opening.
  • the sequentially last component of each filling cycle remains in the fluid channel or fluid channel segment formed above the gas trap in the filling element, i.e. it is filled with the component introduced into a container at the end of the filling cycle.
  • This sequentially last component then forms the sequentially first in the subsequent filling cycle, i.e. the component to be introduced first into the respective container.
  • a filling cycle within the meaning of the invention is that cycle or that filling sequence in which the individual components are introduced into the respective container, and preferably in the initially empty container, which at the end of the filling cycle is filled with the necessary filling quantity or to the necessary fill level.
  • the opening cross section of the container can be optimally used and nevertheless almost no concessions need be made with respect to the determination (weight) and delimitation (mixing in the pipeline) of different fluid phases.
  • FIG. 1 in simplified view, a filling element together with a container in the form of a bottle;
  • FIG. 2 positions a )- d ) each show in diagram form a filling point with the filling element from FIG. 1 and the container in the form of a bottle at various stages of the filling process or of a filling cycle;
  • FIG. 3 positions a 1 )- c 1 ) and a 2 )- c 2 ) each show different steps of two consecutive filling cycles in a further embodiment of the method according to the invention
  • FIG. 4 in simplified view, a filling element together with a container in the form of a bottle;
  • FIG. 5 positions a )- d ) various method steps of a filling cycle in an embodiment of the method according to the invention using the filling element from FIG. 4 .
  • FIG. 6 shows an annular valve
  • FIG. 7 shows a filling machine
  • each case 1 is a filling element, which together with a container support 2 provided beneath this filling element forms a filling point, which is for example an integral part of a rotary-type filling machine and to this end is provided, in the way known in principle to the person skilled in the art, with a plurality of filling points of the same type on the perimeter of a rotor, not shown, which can be driven in rotation about a vertical machine axis.
  • the filling element 1 serves to fill containers in the form of bottles 3 in an open jet filling process with a liquid filling material, consisting of two components A and B, which are not combined or mixed until they are in the respective bottle 3 .
  • the respective bottle 3 is arranged standing upright, i.e. with its bottle axis in the vertical direction and along the same axis or essentially along the same axis with a filling element axis FA at the filling point so that the bottle mouth 3 . 1 lies directly opposite a dispensing opening 4 formed on the underside of the filling element 1 for the liquid filling material, and in the open jet filling shown, at a distance from this dispensing opening 4 .
  • the bottle 3 thereby stands with its bottle base 3 . 2 on the container support 2 or on an electrical weighing device 5 forming a bottle pad, the measurement signal from which is used to control the filling element 1 , i.e. for mass-controlled dispensing of components A and B of the liquid filling material into the bottles 3 .
  • a fluid channel 7 which has the dispensing opening 4 is formed in a housing 6 of the filling element 1 , and this channel can be connected in controlled fashion, via two fluid valves 10 and 11 , each having an independent control and actuation device 8 and 9 respectively, with a channel 12 to supply component A (fluid valves 10 ) and with a channel 13 to supply component B (fluid valve 11 ).
  • the channel 12 is connected to a boiling vessel common to all the filling elements 1 of the filling machine, containing component A.
  • the channel 13 is connected with a further boiling vessel, likewise common to all the filling elements of the filling machine, containing component B.
  • a gas trap 14 is arranged in the dispensing opening 4 , said trap consisting in the simplest case of a sieve-like insert, but preferably of an insert which has a plurality of channels, each of which is open to the fluid channel 7 and also on the underside of the filling element 1 and which are traversed when components A and B are being filled.
  • the aim is to combine or to mix both components A and B only in the respective bottle 3 to be filled, so as e.g. to avoid a component, for example component A, when the fluid valve 11 is open, undesirably getting into the channel 13 for component B or vice versa. For this reason, for example, any mixing of the components in the fluid channel 7 is also not desired.
  • a further aim is to introduce components A and B individually and sequentially into the respective bottle 3 , so as to be able to control or regulate the filling quantity of each of component A and B precisely.
  • each bottle 3 is firstly filled, by controlled opening and closing of the fluid valve 10 , with the first part-quantity of component A for the desired mix ratio and then by the full quantity of component B and after that filled with the necessary remaining part-quantity of component A in the bottle 3 .
  • the fluid valve 10 is opened with the control and actuation device 8 (position a in FIG. 2 ) and then, on reaching the desired proportion of component A, closed again.
  • the fluid valve 11 is opened in sequence with the control and actuation device 9 to introduce component B (position b in FIG. 2 ) and then closed again on reaching the desired proportion of component B.
  • the fluid channel 7 contains component A, with which the filling of a further bottle 3 or the respective following filling cycle is started.
  • gas traps 14 can be used on the filling elements 1 and it is not necessary to empty the fluid channel 7 at the end of each filling cycle, on the contrary, the fluid channel 7 above the gas trap 14 can remain filled with the filling material, i.e. with component A.
  • FIG. 3 shows, in an illustration similar to FIG. 2 in positions a 1 )- c 1 ) and a 2 )- c 2 ), various method steps which, in a further embodiment of the method according to the invention, are carried out using the filling point composed of the filling element 1 and the container support 3 in two consecutive filling cycles.
  • a first filling cycle the filling of the bottle 3 concerned takes place, starting with component A, for which the fluid valve 10 is opened via the control device 8 (position a 1 in FIG. 3 ).
  • the fluid valve 10 is closed, after which the fluid valve 11 is opened (position b 1 in FIG. 3 ).
  • the filling cycle is ended by closing the fluid valve 11 (position c 1 in FIG. 3 ).
  • the fluid channel 7 above the gas trap 14 is then filled with component B.
  • a subsequent filling cycle to fill a further bottle 3 begins with the opening of the fluid valve 11 by the control device 9 to feed component B into the bottle 3 (position a 2 in FIG. 3 ). After introducing the necessary quantity of component B, the fluid valve 11 is closed and then the fluid valve 10 is opened in order to introduce component A (position b 2 in FIG. 3 ). This filling cycle is ended, once the total fill quantity is reached, by closing the fluid valve 10 (position c 2 in FIG. 3 ), so that component A, with which the next filling cycle is begun for filling a further bottle 3 , is then situated in the fluid channel 7 above the vapour trap 14 .
  • the filling sequences or filling cycles are inverted by the central control device of the filling machine (filling computer) controlling the respective filling element 1 and thereby, as the result of corresponding triggering of the fluid valves 10 and 11 , the correct filling quantities are assigned to the individual method steps, taking account of the signals delivered by the respective weighing device 5 .
  • This method also ensures that at the end of each filling cycle, only or essentially only one of the two components A or B is situated in the fluid channel 7 above the gas trap 14 , so there is no need to empty the fluid channel 7 at the end of each filling cycle.
  • FIG. 5 shows in positions a)-d) various method steps of a further method according to the invention.
  • This method uses in each case one filling point, which for example is again provided at the perimeter of a rotor 16 as shown in FIG. 7 , which can be driven in rotation about a vertical machine axis MA, together with a plurality of similar filling points, but instead of the filling element 1 has a filling element 1 a.
  • the filling element 1 a differs from the filling element 1 in essence only in that in the housing 6 a of the filling element 1 a , two separate fluid channels 7 . 1 and 7 . 2 are formed, of which the fluid channel 7 . 1 forms a dispensing opening 4 . 1 and the fluid channel 7 . 2 forms a dispensing opening 4 . 2 on the underside of the filling element 1 a .
  • Each of the two dispensing openings 4 . 1 and 4 . 2 is provided with a gas trap 14 and arranged so that the bottle 3 positioned at the filling point lies with its bottle opening 3 . 1 opposite both dispensing openings 4 . 1 and 4 . 2 .
  • the fluid channel 7 . 1 is connectable in a controlled manner via the fluid valve 10 actuated by the control element 8 with the channel 12 for component A and the fluid channel 7 . 2 via the fluid valve 11 actuated by the control element 9 with the channel 13 for component B.
  • the fluid valve 10 is closed (position b in FIG. 5 ) after which the fluid valve 11 is opened in order to introduce component B into the bottle 3 (position c in FIG. 5 ).
  • the fluid valve 11 is also closed at the end of the filling cycle (position d in FIG. 5 ).
  • both fluid channels 7 . 1 and 7 . 2 above the gas trap 14 are filled, and each fluid channel 7 . 1 or 7 . 2 only with the respective component A or B assigned to it.
  • the controlled closing of the fluid valves 10 and 11 takes place as a function of the filling quantity introduced in each case into the respective bottle 3 , triggered by the measuring signal delivered by the weighing device 5 .
  • a filling pause would be provided in the first filling cycle following closure of the fluid valve 10 and before opening the fluid valve 11 , i.e. before the method step in position b 1 , and in the subsequent filling cycle after closing the fluid valve 11 and before opening the fluid valve 10 , i.e. before the method step in position b 2 .
  • the precise measurement of the filling quantities introduced makes it possible e.g. to undertake a corrective filling, for example with the first or last introduced component. Precise measurement of the filling quantities introduced also makes it possible, e.g. with the measured values from a filling cycle, to conduct a correction of the filling quantities in the respective subsequent filling cycle or else to document the actual filling quantities and their deviation from desired values for filling quantities, etc.
  • the filling element 1 has the advantage over the filling element 1 a that in the filling element 1 , the cross section of flow of the dispensing opening 4 can adapted to the cross section of the bottle opening 3 . 1 by being selected to be as large as possible, so that for both components A and B a dispensing opening 4 with a large cross section is produced.
  • the cross sections of flow of both dispensing openings 4 . 1 and 4 . 2 must together be adapted to the cross section of the bottle opening 3 . 1 , as the result of which a reduced cross section of flow arises for each dispensing opening 4 . 1 and 4 .
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 the two dispensing openings 4 . 1 and 4 . 2 are shown side by side.
  • the filling element 1 a it is also possible to embody the filling element 1 a so that one of the two dispensing openings, for example dispensing opening 4 . 1 , surrounds the other dispensing opening, for example dispensing opening 4 . 2 in the form of a ring, i.e. as an annular outlet, as shown in FIG. 6 .
  • the gas trap 14 provided in the dispensing opening 4 . 2 is then also annular in form.
  • dispensing opening 4 . 1 and 4 . 2 there is also the option of providing the two dispensing openings 4 . 1 and 4 . 2 , in particular when the dispensing opening 4 . 2 is annular in form, at different levels, for example dispensing opening 4 . 1 is set back, i.e. at a greater distance from the bottle opening 3 . 1 than the dispensing opening 4 . 2 .
  • Each filling element 1 and 1 a is also designed so that, in particular on the areas coming into contact with the filling material or components A and B, it can be cleaned, rinsed and/or disinfected with a gaseous, vaporous and/or liquid medium, for example also with water, hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and in particular also in a CIP method.
